Introduction to IAM

This document provides information on Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and permissions for BigQuery.

To familiarize yourself with managing access in Google Cloud in general, see IAM overview. For detailed guidance on roles and permissions in BigQuery ML, see Access control with IAM.

Overview

If a principal (a user, group, or service account) calls a Google Cloud API, that principal must have the appropriate IAM permissions to use the resource. To give a principal the required permissions, you grant an IAM role to the principal.

This document describes the BigQuery IAM roles that you can grant to principals so that they can access BigQuery resources.

IAM role types

You can manage the following types of roles in IAM:

• Predefined roles provide granular access for a specific service and are managed by Google Cloud. Predefined roles are meant to support common use cases and access control patterns.
• Custom roles provide access according to a user-specified list of permissions.

To determine if one or more permissions are included in a role, you can use one of the following methods:

• The IAM permissions search reference
• The gcloud iam roles describe command
• The roles.get() method in the IAM API

When you assign multiple role types to a user, the permissions granted are a union of each role's permissions.

For additional information on using IAM to access resources, see Granting, changing, and revoking access to resources in the IAM documentation.

For information on creating custom roles, see Creating and managing custom roles in the IAM documentation.

BigQuery permissions and predefined IAM roles

Permissions are not assigned directly to users, groups, or service accounts. Instead, users, groups, or service accounts are granted access to predefined or custom roles to give them permissions to perform actions on resources.

You can grant access at the following BigQuery resource levels:

• organization or Google Cloud project level
• dataset level
• table or view level

Roles applied at an organization or Cloud project level

When you assign roles at the organization and project level, you provide permission to run BigQuery jobs or to access all of a project's BigQuery resources.

Roles applied at a dataset level

You can assign roles at the dataset level to provide access to a specific dataset, without providing complete access to the project's resources. In the IAM policy hierarchy, BigQuery datasets are child resources of projects. For more information on assigning roles at the dataset level, see Controlling access to datasets.

Roles applied to individual resources within datasets

You can assign roles individually to certain types of resources within datasets, without providing complete access to the dataset's resources.

Roles can be applied to individual resources of the following types:

• tables
• views

Roles cannot be applied to individual resources of the following types:

• routines
• models

For more information on assigning roles at the table or view level, see Controlling access to tables or views.

BigQuery custom roles

To create a custom IAM role for BigQuery, follow the steps outlined in the IAM custom roles documentation.

BigQuery basic roles

For information on BigQuery basic roles, see BigQuery basic roles and permissions.

Caution: BigQuery's dataset-level basic roles existed prior to the introduction of IAM. We recommend that you minimize the use of basic roles. In production environments, don't grant basic roles unless there is no alternative.
